Flying cut offs require exacting control to accurately cut a product to a specific length. On a flying cut off, the material is moving while a carriage that is carrying the saw is speed and position synchronized with the moving material to accurately cut a product to length.
A perpendicular cut is hard enough. Imagine trying to cut a shape while the product is moving!
The FALCON can do this using plasma cutting torches on plate steel. Communications to the driven axis is done via a SERCOS™ connection.
